Postpartum haemorrhage is still the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Uterine artery embolisation (EMA) is an effective organ-preserving treatment for uncontrolled obstetric haemorrhage. To date, there is evidence that EMA may lead to a reduction in ovarian reserve. In the present study, we retrospectively and prospectively analyzed clinical manifestations of ovarian dysfunction in 30 women of reproductive age 1.5 years after uterine artery embolization during massive obstetric bleeding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
